Visit the
Robert Frost Museum

in Shaftsbury,
Vermont

Frost's Stone House is located in
So. Shaftsbury, Vermont on Historic Route 7A, a short distance
from his gravesite in Bennington.

The museum features galleries in
the house where Frost lived and in the very rooms were he wrote
some of his finest poetry. His fourth book was published during
this period and for it, he won his first Pulitzer Prize. The
volume, entitled New Hampshire, contains one of our most
beloved poems, "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening."
Frost wrote the poem on a hot June morning in 1922 at the dining
room table. The entire room is devoted to this great American
classic.

The central hallway is dedicated
to Frost's "woodchopper," J.
J. Lankes, who decorated Frost's books in the 1920s with
wood cut prints. Lankes lived in the area and made many works
of the local countryside that are geographically correct and
still recognizable.

The grounds of the property are
complete with many images that evoke Frost's poetry including
stone walls, birch trees, fields and woods and even some of Frost's
original apple trees.

A self-guided tour is offered and
visitors may spend as much or little time as desired. We suggest
you allow an hour for your visit. Please arrive no later than
4:30 p.m.

Photography is not permitted inside
the house.

Children are very welcome andwill
be interested if an adult will engage them in the material. Although
Frost is very accessible, young people may not be ready for literature
unless encouraged.
